Bushwhacker's Pact - Budget Tokens - Turn 2 Kill

Modern Aggro Budget Casual Combo Mono-Red Tokens

BenMonte


If speed is your need. All or nothing, a turn 4 win at the very latest or nothing at all. Turn 2 and turn 3 wins are not uncommon, especially if you're up against a non interactive deck.

The core of the deck is the 8 whack package, Reckless Bushwhacker and Goblin Bushwhacker, supported by Signal Pest and Haze of Rage to really push your crappy tokens over the edge. How that's done is fairly easy. Almost all our creatures are free (Memnite, Ornithopter, Pact of the Titan), or pay for themselves (Burning-Tree Emissary). The result is that you'll always be able to play a surged or kicked a bushwhacker (sometimes two.) on turn 2.

Other ways of getting enough tokens on to the field is by saccing a 0 cost Memnite or Ornithopter to Infernal Plunge or Kuldotha Rebirth , either netting you 3 mana to burn on turn 1 or 3 goblin tokens to use in turn 1 or 2, depending on whether or not you can get a bushwhacker out.

Pact of the Titan is truly your last ditch. Play it only when you know you will swing for lethal. Using it otherwise will just force you to concede. Had one game with three of these in my hand and a Reckless Bushwhacker. Good times were had.

Devastating Summons can, for the cost of just R and 1 mountain, produce 2 tokens of varying strength. Perfectly suits an all or nothing deck like this. Who needs mana next turn anyway?

Lastly, Past in Flames can get you back a lot of useful cards, or sometimes your entire graveyard. Recasting a dead Memnite and an Infernal Plunge can effectively give you a second chance.
